7. System - Commissioning with the PC software (configuration)
Only if commissioning with configuration has not yet been performed on the KHS-Mini System Control MASTER.
Commissioning and configuration can be performed at will, either via the KHS-Mini System Control MASTER/SLAVE or
directly with the PC software. If configuration data have already been entered into the KHS-Mini System Control, they can
be copied into the PC software as described in Point 5 "Load control".
7.1 Note for fault-free commissioning:
When installing, be sure to fill out the "System Overview" document!
To make system settings fault-free and simple, the document supplied with the KHS-Mini System Control –MASTER and –
SLAVE- installation and operating instructions, the "System Overview" (see photo), needs to be filled out correspondent to
the example during installation.
The data are subsequently transferred during system commissioning either directly on the -MASTER- or using the PC
configuration into the control.
Table 1: Extract from the "System Overview" document

7.2.11. After completing the network and device settings, write the configuration to the control
At this point, remove all components installed in the KHS Flush System (flush valves, MASTER-SLAVE, sensors). Transfer the
data into the MASTER control only subsequently, as described in 12.
7.2.12. Note: Confirm overwrite control data with OK
7.2.13. Testing the network and device settings/error messages
Antenna symbol and symbols for the set devices appear permanently on the display of the MASTER- control in the overview,

Recommendation: Perform an valve function test in manual mode:
To ensure that all flushing valves are working properly, it is recommended to perform the function test in manual mode
described in Point 8.3 in the installation operating instructions, KHS-Mini System Control -MASTER- and -SLAVE-
KHS-Mini System Control .
7.3 Operation modes
7.3.1. Operation modes: Select the tab
7.3.2. –MASTER- Timer 01 and the desired type of control: e.g., timer control
To do that, flag the first or the assignment line

- 12 -
7.3.3. –MASTER- Timer 01 time control: Set the start time, duration and day of the week
Start time refers to the time when flushing should start.
The flushing days Mo - Su (entire week) are set as defaults. If necessary, delete the applicable check marks (e.g., only Mo. –>
leave the check mark on Mo.). After entering e.g. Timer 01 (Line 1), perform the "Apply" step. Only then can the entry
Timer 02 (Line 2 etc.) be made.
7.3.4. –MASTER- Timer 01 time control: Apply the settings
7.3.5. Optional enter –MASTER- Timer 02 - 16: e.g. Timer 02 volume control

- 13 -
7.3.6. Copy/shift operation modes (one or more lines) with right mouse button
7.3.7. Insert operation modes (one or more lines) with right mouse button
7.3.8 Change/apply copied operation modes: e.g. adapt type, start time, duration,
volume, days
By marking the individual lines 01 to 16 in combination with "Selection/Type Free",
the contents of the lines can be deleted after selecting with the "Apply" button.

- 14 -
7.3.9. Select -SLAVE- in the pulldown menu:
SLAVE 1 - SLAVE 31
7.3.10. Assign operation modes for –SLAVE- (as described in –MASTER- Item 2-9):
e.g. temperature flushing

- 15 -
7.3.11. Cycle flushing: If only one temperature control is set for one device, the control automatically sets a changeable time
control (cycle flushing)! This is used for regular flushing, 1 x per week, to prevent stagnation taking place for over a week.
The time of the cycle flushing duration can be set individually (dependent on the water volume in the piping system). Adapt
the flushing time for the routine flushing according to the capacity volume!
At this point, apply the default of the operation modes in "Write configuration to the
control" in the MASTER control.
7.3.12. After entering the operation modes, write the configuration into the control

- 16 -
7.4 Programme switch (chapter only important if you need to stop the flushing process, do maintenance or if there are 2
different flushing programmes)
Switching the programme facilitates entering two different flushing programmes (e.g., school-holidays operation): More
flushings / School-holiday operation: Fewer flushings) and the facility to block the system for maintenance work (all
operation modes are discontinued and locked).
Switching can be done directly on the -MASTER- (submenu switch programme) or through an external 230 V switch input on
the -MASTER- (see installation and operating instructions, KEMPER KHS-Mini System Control, Point 8.6 Switching
programme in the MASTER menu or with an external 230 V switch input on the -MASTER). The configuration can be
performed with the software according to the instructions.
7.4.1. Programme switching:
Select the tab
7.4.2. Programme 2 not active:
It is possible to switch operation modes between "Programme 1" and "System blocked"

- 17 -
7.4.3. Switching programmes with the external 230 V switch input:
It is possible to switch between "Programme 1", "Programme 2" (Programme 2 only if activated)
and "System blocked". To do that, the appropriate programme must be selected in the menu item
"External input". If 230 V are now permanently applied to the input, the programme is controlled as set.
7.4.4. Programme 2 active: It is possible to switch between "Programme 1", "Programme 2" and "System blocked"
7.4.5. Enter identification for Programme 1 and Programme 2: e.g. school and holidays

- 18 -
7.4.6. Set operation modes for Programme 1 and Programme 2:
If Programme 2 is active, in the operation modes there is now a selection box to determine to which programme the
operation mode applies.
7.4.7. After entering the programme switch and the allocated operation modes,
overwrite the entries in the file "Write configuration to control".
8. Printout journal (select steps 1-6)
Display all events and flushing measures.
Read journal and error memory (evaluation)
The journal, as described in Table 2 in the installation and operation instructions, KHS-Mini System Control –MASTER and –
SLAVE-, writes and comprehensibly lists all possibly performed flush operation modes, error messages and configuration
changes. The individual steps are documented with the date, time and description, so they are accordingly comprehensible
(flush journal). In the journal, in a roll-over process the most recent 4000 entries are saved: starting from > 4000 entries, the
first data entries are deleted.
Recommendation: Regularly map the memory to prevent losing data!

- 19 -
8.1 Reading the journal from the control: Select the tab / Click "Read from the master",
optionally set the number of data
8.2. Filter the journal based on events
8.3. Select the event filter: e.g., only flush logs, after selecting change by clicking
the event button filter for a tabular view
If you only want to view certain events, specific events can be selected using the 5 laterally arranged buttons. The check
marks are automatically set for each button. Furthermore, individual, additional event criteria can be manually added or
removed using check marks at any time.

- 20 -
8.4. Activate the event filter:
Selecting this box with a check mark displays solely the selected events.
8.5. Filter the journal based on devices
The data from the flushing log can now be saved in a target directory as a csv file in Excel.
Selecting this box with a check mark displays solely the selected devices.
